Variety Engineering Concern

Variety Engineering Concern is tucked away at 84/6, Dasarath Ghosh Lane. If you know Salkia, you know the streets can get a bit cramped around Bamangachi Bazar. We’ve been in this spot for a good while, surrounded by the noise of the market and the people passing through. Our shop isn't very large, but we pack a lot of machinery into the space we have. We do a lot of small-scale engineering work, mostly making bits and pieces that larger factories don’t want to bother with. Every morning starts with opening up the shutters and letting the light into the dusty corners. The machines take a few minutes to warm up. We spend our time turning metal, drilling holes, and making sure the measurements are close enough for what’s needed. It is a noisy life, with the sound of the bazaar outside mixing with the clatter of our tools. Sometimes the neighbors complain about the racket, but mostly everyone is used to it. We drink a lot of tea while we work and talk about whatever is happening in Salkia that day. It’s an honest way to spend the time. There is always a bit of iron shavings on the floor and some old blueprints lying around. We just keep our heads down and do the work that comes in. You won't find any fancy signs here, just the work getting done daily.
